Bush supporters' aftermath thread

The Florida Keys got a cat 2 and as far as I know didn't even evacuate.

They're also evacuating Houston...

If Rita really should hit Houston, then others will have a problem, too

The Wall Street Journal reported that 5% of U.S. refining capacity remains offline, with an additional 13% threatened by Rita.

That's no kidding. I think something like 80+% of the refining capacity in the US is located along the Houston channel.

I presume both photos to be accurate, dys. Do you have some info to suggest otherwise?

I would have guessed NO too! Looks like a French name on the sign.

President Bush will go down in history as one of the greatest Presidents this nation has ever had.
If - he can overcome the greatest threat to this nation - Islamic fascist jihaddist death cultists.
I sincerely hope, now that he has a mandate from the people, that we can stop fighting a war against "terrorism" and fight Islamic fascist death cultists.
Why?
Because these people will not change unless we help them to change. And unless we identify them as to who they are.

Nonetheless, George W Bush is a fine man and a great President.

Bush will go down as not only the worst president in U.S. history but one of the worst leaders the world has ever seen and he is a Repulican. Thank god he's not a Democrat. Thank god.

Are you seriously having to go back to page 6 of this thread to find your material? Laughing

I think this "religious nut" argument is just plain dumb.

I could just as easily say "If the Democrats didn't have the minority vote, Bush would have won by a landslide."

The truth of the matter is that the Democrats have for to long relied on the minority vote and forgotten about the rest of the country. They have nothing to offer me. They are out of touch with the rest of the country and until they realize that they will continue to lose.

Hey look here's our non-partasian moderate. Now he want's to work with out of touch losers. Tico, the whole thread is material from page 1 to the end. I come here for comic relief.

Well, please don't trudge through commenting on every post that catches your fancy. Some of us lived through it the first time around, and your commentary isn't likely to prove entertaining for us.

The Keys were evacuated... before she even got Hurricane status... as they frequently are.

A few pages back; I saw idiocy revisited. Whitewashing of a sitting President directly disobeying the Supreme Court and lying to a Grand Jury. Rolling Eyes

As if Hill wasn't fully aware of the truth, long before that testimony. Rolling Eyes

Political Witch Hunt? Probably. Does that constitute an excuse for a Rhoads Scholar to suddenly become ignorant of his sworn obligations? Rolling Eyes

Not if he's my President. Hyper-partisanship is the ultimate display of political foolishness. Party BS aside; who here doesn't think a President should be impeached for lying under oath? Especially when ordered to testify by the Supreme Court of our land? Whose Holier than thou? I can count the other Presidents that got away with that on no fingers can you?

Should Rita strike Galveston Texas; Bush will be crucified for failing to act fast enough, or for reacting faster than he did in Katrina. He can't win, no matter what, because an uncertain number of fools will always prefer to conduct their own Political Witch Hunt than to face the simple truth of our utter impotence VS Mother Nature. As the most foolish of the lot is fond of saying; it's really, really sad. Sad

Barring some unexpected serious weakening, it would appear that a lot more people are going to die. Let's try to keep our eye on ball. Idea

Bush the War President, the Great Uniter, decided to declare that the US use of fossil fuels had no meaningful effect on climate, and declined to do anything to tackle climate change, lest it have an adverse effect on his economy.
In so doing, he made contemptuous rejection of the considered views of most of the rest of the world.
Scientists advising him have apparently declared that global warming (which is measurable, and happening) has no effect on frequency and intensity of tropical storms.
Well, now we're running out of letters for storms this year, and storms K and R are two of the worst ever.
So to me, as a layman, at the very least the science should be urgently revised.
Ironic that much of the USA's oil refining capacity lies in the path of these very storms...a self-regulating effect?

BTW I don't blame Bush for being impotent in the face of natural disasters- I blame him for being a warmonger, an international criminal, a clueless puppet, and an unknowing and incurious fool.

Please point out anywhere that I said I was a non-partisian moderate. I'm conservative and proud of it.

McTag avidly embraces the solipsims that characterize the European view oif the world. The "considered views" of Europeans do not constitute the views of "most of the world". There is no scientific case for a causal relation between theis hurricane and global warming. There have been hurricanes in the South Atlantic throughout recorded history and the greatest concentration of the very worst of them hav e made their landfalls along the Gulf Coast for as long as we have records.

McTag's judgements about the characteristics, internal motivations and intent of the President preceed the facts and avoid any dispassionate analysis of the issues he faces or the alternative courses of action. Moreover McTag is utterly blind to the realistic alternatives in an historical context or particularly to a realistic model for just what can be and has been achieved by dominant nations under similar circumstances. This is certainly understandable in that any factual comparison with the actions of his own country under similar historical circumstances or of the even worse behavior of other European (and Asian) powers would certainly not serve his prejudices.

McT and george, On this issue of global warming and the Kyoto Protocals, I must agree with george. The Kyoto Protocals favored third world countries such as China to continue to increasingly pollute, while increasing restrictions against the US. Global warming is happening, but whether it's the result from the use of fossil fuel has not been proven; rather it can be a natural cycle of weather patterns of this planet. That's not to say we shouldn't make every effort to reduce our use of fossil fuels. That's my .02c worth for today.

Global warming is a terrible term; Climate Instability is far more descriptive of the problem.

It isn't flooding caused by the raising of temperatures, it's shifting weather patterns due to localized changes that really are going to affect us in the coming years.
